The committee has sent an indictment involving two defendants to a prosecutor, seeking its approval and referral of the case to court.
Sole source: Armenia’s Investigative Committee said its General Department for Investigation of Particularly Important Cases has completed an investigation into an alleged violation of ballot secrecy during the 7 June 2026 parliamentary election.
The committee alleges that, for personal gain, A.H. photographed an Armenia Alliance ballot being placed in an envelope at polling station 17/66, revealing the vote, and sent the image to A.S. the next day. It alleges that A.S. used it to check the vote. The committee said A.H. was charged with violating ballot secrecy under Criminal Code Article 215, Part 1, and A.S. under Part 2 with checking a voter’s marked ballot to violate ballot secrecy. It sent the case and indictment to the supervising prosecutor, requesting approval and referral to court.
